11 PAGES REALLY IMPRESSED LIMBAUGH

You may recall that Fats Limbaugh said Palin's book was "one of the most substantive policy books I've read." It turns out that the policy section of Palin's opus is a whopping 11 pages, according to conservative pundit Steve Chapman:
Palin? Her new memoir, "Going Rogue," fills up 413 pages, but it has less policy heft than a student council speech. Where Reagan dived into the murk of arms control and Goldwater fathomed federal farm programs, Palin skims over the surface of a puddle.

Amid all the tales of savoring the aromas at the state fair and having her wardrobe vetted by snotty campaign staffers, she sets aside space to lay out her vision of what it means to be a "Commonsense Conservative." It takes up all of 11 pages and leans heavily on prefabricated lines like "I am a conservative because I deal with the world as it is" and "If you want real job growth, cut capital gains taxes."
